[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gunplay:
Step by step, excluding that the phone rooted itself when I connected it to the PC and installed the drivers. It didn't rebooted 3 times and the other stuff which was wrote in the instructions, the entire log is looking different, but everything is fine - i flashed the ROM, just the WIFI isn't working. I done all of this on my PC, which is with Win XP, now (and before) Sony PC Companion can't find my phone on the laptop with Win 8 and I can't place nothing on the SD card and flash, but this is something different and don't bother, probably is matter of driver.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] temes:
You have to use flashtool with one of these ftfs as base of this rom:

B.1.89 (recommended)

B.1.54

You can root both with backup and restore method or if you have unlocked bootloader you can flash a prerooted cwm kernel.

If the base of this rom is not a clear fw, you may face problems, because this rom doesn't format system partition, only modify it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gunplay:
So I got to flash this ftf and then the rom from this topic? As I can see this ftf is stock ROM or something like that, but I'm coming from stock ROM. Last night I unlocked the bootloader, rooted, flashed CWM and than this rom...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] temes:
It is not enough. Your Stock ROM is not clean, and if eXperience takes any false data from your system partition (because it doesn't format system), it may cause further errors/problems. If you have unlocked bootloader, you don't need to root and flash cwm, if you flash a prerooted cwm kernel (like munjeni or vengeance), you will get root rights and cwm.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gunplay:
Okay, done errything like in the instructions and still no WIFI. Step by step with the 1st tft that u posted and nothing. Any suggestions?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] temes:
Stock or custom kernel?

If custom, which? did you flash memory tweaks?

I stock, please write all steps you did in detail.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gunplay:
I made those steps - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=38413707&postcount=4 which are from the instructions. The kernel is stock, i didn't flashed another one. Memory tweaks - as described in the same post. I've done all step by step to the point:

"Turn the phone on and wait for POWER OFF button, when it appears hit the button.

For smoothest and fastest eXperience.(UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER ONLY)"

- the POWER OFF button didn't appeared.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] temes:
Memory tweaks is for custom kernels. It should work on stock kernel with unlocked bootloader, but it contains wifi modules that custom kernels does not contain. Now, you have a wifi module in stock kernel, and flashed an other one with memory tweaks (I don't know if this is really problem, but it worth a try). I hope flashing a custom kernel solve your problem.

Try to flash a custom kernel (vengeance or munjeni 100% working). If still no wifi flash again memory tweaks.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gunplay:
Where I can find those 2 kernels ? Tryed to search the forum but nothing. Flashed from CWM this one - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1717270 and now i got a cool bootloop. This phone is trying to piss me off :) Even it can go back to CWM.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] temes:
munjeni's

kernels can be flashed in fastboot mode, not with cwm.

don't forget about your "lockedboot loader" friends :P. Waiting a new version :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] anubis0842:
One comment for the Developer. This is the best ROM till DATE for Xperia U in Locked/Unlocked Bootloader

Just 2 things i would wish to see in eXPERIENCE v3 :

1. SONY JB lockscreen with lockscreen wallpaper change :laugh::D ( rather than the right to left boring lockscreen )

2. SONY JB whitescreen during receiving and making a call

Rest is just perfect

The Cybershot 4.7.2 works but when i flash 5.7.2 camera stopped working.See to this if possible
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] temes:
Cybershot 5.7.2 and 6.0.0 both work. Perhaps you missed something during flashing cybershot.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ben.Hahlen:
How long should first boot take? Mine is going for 20 mins now and still nothing but Sony Logo...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] anubis0842:
I didn't miss anything during flashing..........Cybershot 4.7.2 works when flashed but immediately after flashing Cybershot 5.7.2 camera stops working.

One more problem i'm facing is once or twice it happened... I was like calling someone but no dialtone for numerous times....only until I restarted It was diallable again
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] temes:
Do you have AC!D engine? It can cause problems with cybershot.

Edit: Did you forcestop and clear cybershot data after flashing 5.7.2?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] anubis0842:
No I didn't have ACID engine when i installed cybershot
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] temes:
OK, try this: forcestop cybershot, clear its data in app manager, reboot to cwm, reflash 5.7.2, clear cache and davlik cache, reboot, force stop and clear data or cybershot and reboot.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] anubis0842:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] temes:
The only problem with dialer is the horrible lag (both of incoming and outgoing calls), but it is a stock ROM issue, not the eXperience ROM's fault. Greenify can solve it. I you are facing other problem, I think you are the only one.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] japoina92:
hey bro im very glad, for your decission for follow the developement of this awesome rom in LB/UNBL.

i have one sugesstion to add many gobernors, im on LB but i have see more than one Custom rom based on stock with it.

do you think is possible? thaankss you so much broo your V2.1 is amazing with my settings hehe :P good luck in the next Version bro :highfive:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] anubis0842:
I didn't face this problem in STOCK ICS.....yes but the horrible dialer lag was there which is totally removed here ......Nyways I unlocked my device today and flashed Sliding XU v3.5 and I wud say it gels awesome with eXperience v2.1 ..... I hope after flashing the Sliding XU kernel now it'll be alright with that calling problem

I hope the next rom is based on JB coz we already have a JB bloated ROM and a FIDELITY rom for JB all we need is an eXperience JB ROM for UL/L bootloader :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] The_0bserver:
How does greenify solve the issue? I thought Greenify does mostly the same as Freezing the apk. Which i assumed would result in not being able to answer calls. :/
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] blackkzero:
with ondemand/sio, and a custom build.prop (here in themes section) I solve the problem :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] temes:
It can save a lot of RAM. Greenify hibernates and doesn't freeze apks, so you can use them, you can share files with them (can use in share menu), but they never run in background if you doesn't start them. So you can hibernate all of your program that doesn't need background sync. They are much more than freezed apks. It can provide a smoother run, and since I'm using Greenify never experienced lag in incoming and outgoing calls (before that, sometimes I could not answer, because the caller gave up before the answer slider appeared...). Dialer still has about 5 (sometimes 8-10) sec on start, but I synced all facebook contacts (not only with numbers), so my contact list is quite big.

2) i want to install Stock browser by Sony (i missclicked once again)

Can someone help me?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] temes:
1. Delete opera.apk (or something similar :D) from /system/app. Or use ES-File manager, it can uninstall system apps in root mode.

2. Copy the attachment (its from B.1.54!) to /system/app, then set its permissions to 644.

v1.7 is better than v1.8? I flashed the newest...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] orangzeb:
First of all Thanks for the rom mate :) But I have some confusions : I have :

Android 2.3.7

St25i

Baseband

u8500-49020604-R1G_EC14

Kernel

2.6.35.7+

Build

6.0.B.3.184

1. Now when you say :

what exactly do you mean , LINKS ???

2. There are two memory tweak files given in the first post, I think the 2nd one is for unlocked bootloader ??? right ?

3. What kernel works best with this rom ?

4. How to Unlock bootloader and is it really necessary and even I can do this ??

FYI : I had xperia x8 and I had a unlocked bootloader with Alfs latest kernel and gingerdx 0.30

Thanks in advance for any help :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] amoutie:
1) That means you should have installed one of these stock ROM on your XU.

2) Memory tweaks are for unlocked bootloader, both.

3) Custom kernel are for unlocked bootloader only. I'm on locked, so wait for someone who can answer this.

4) To unlock the bootloader there are many guides here on XDA and even the official one on the Sony web site. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1527159 http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] temes:
1) is not correct exactly. You should install one of these ROMs (B.1.89 recommended) BEFORE installing eXperience, even if you have one of them. Because eXperience ROM does not format system partition, it is very important to be a clear, untouched base on your device for this ROM.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] amir323b:

i installed this rom with no problem :)

but where is camera app ? i mean i do not have camera in my apps .

and it does not work with camera bottom .

how can i fix that ? tanQ .

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] temes:

Stock Camera app should be working. Check semccamera.apk in your /system/app folder

What were the install steps exactly you did?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] orangzeb:
Am I suppose to unlock the bootloader first before installing the rom / kernel or after ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] temes:
Do you want to install custom kernel? If yes, you have to unlock. If no, you don't need to unlock.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] orangzeb:
I just checked status of bootloader and it says I can unlock so I think I should try a custom kernel , will this one work ? :

ICS 6.1.1.B.1.89

after unlocking the bootloader should I install this kernel then flash the "XperiaU(ST25i)_6.1.1.B.1.89ICS4.0.4_TimItalyByShisma.ftf" file then continue on with the proceure ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kwstas 13:
Thanks man! Could you please provide me the apk Walkman from Sony ?? (B.1.54)

And what is 644?? (read write etc)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ape96:
I think there is a bit of confusion :)

With locked bootloader, you can flash any kernel related to a Stock ROM, for example the kernel B.1.89 you said.

With unlocked bootloader, you can flash any custom kernel: they are, for example, Sliding XU: you can find the thread in this section!

So, if you want to unlock bootloader and use a custom kernel:

1) Flash the ftf you said: in that 3d there is the debloated version too, it would be better...

2) Then, you will have ICS flashed with ICS stock kernel.

3) Now you can fastboot SlidingXU (you should use version 3.5)

With that kernel you have CWM. You can enter there and flash eXperience V2 :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] orangzeb:
ahh that means this is a stock based ROM ? I've downloaded Sliding XU 3.5 thanks ...

Is ROM][LINARO][4.0.4] SlimCM™ - built from source [XU] - Build 20130420 a custom rom and can I use that with that kernel ?

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] bobafetthotmail:
I said you can change current Theme by system settings > Display > Theme.

Live Wallpapers have been removed because it drained battery quickly, if you still want them you need to find threads that offer a CosmicFlow.apk, download and install. (like the one in the link)

Reflash the experience 2.1 zip from CWM to change the themes in the AROMA installer then wipe cache and dalvik cache (backup your stuff first). And yes, the "z-inspired themes" are the coolest imho. Be sure to try the Sapphire, it looks differently than the image in theme choosing panel. It is my favorite.:laugh:

No bug in this rom since version 1.4.3. Likely your mistake when installing. Wipe cache AND dalvik cache from the recovery (it's in advanced options).

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Phantom Pt. II:
Thanks, I know that. :) The situation is, it's my girlfriend's Xperia U. I've updated her phone to ICS but not a custom ROM yet. She already complained that the phone is slower than GB and also that the Screenshot option in the power menu disappeared.

You get where this goes, anything that isn't the way she's used to or anything that doesn't work properly, she'll notice it. I need a bulletproof ROM for her :)

Also, this is for LOCKED Bootloader as well, right? But the instructions say to Flash the custom Kernel and Memory Tweak. I thought that isn't possible with Locked bootloader?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] bobafetthotmail:
The best thing to do was leaving it as it was. Girls don't understand these things. (random misogyny):silly:

Unlocking bootloader is recommended to increase smoothness, as the ram tweaks do have an effect.

These are instructions for locked bootloader. I know that are for Sola but work on U as well.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Phantom Pt. II:
Haha. I know. :P But I'm pretty sure this will be better than the Stock ICS release from Sony. I'm quite an advanced user so I won't be breaking anything, at least haven't on my HTC phones.

Alright, flashing this now! :)

Why can't I choose a custom Alarm sound?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] bobafetthotmail:
Stock ICS was the same. Alarm sounds suck ba**s and there is no way to change them.

But this is rooted remember? Can move freely stuff around with its file manager. I moved Clockwork calling tune and I use it when I receive an SMS. Alarms are in a folder called Alarms (duh!) that is somewhere inside system folder, but should maybe work even the empty Alarms folder you find in SD card as well.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Phantom Pt. II:
I just figured out how to change the Alarm to a custom sound. You need to create a brand new Alarm, instead of editing the ones that are there by Default.

Well, ROM seems to run quite sexy! Thanks for this!
